Pressure-induced electronic and structural evolution of EuIrGe3
Abstract
We investigated the pressure-induced evolution of the electronic and crystal structure of the noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type antiferromagnet EuIrGe3 using x-ray absorption spectroscopy, synchrotron x-ray diffraction complemented by density functional theory calculations, and electrical resistivity measurements. The Eu L3-edge spectra reveal a continuous increase in the mean Eu valence under compression, accompanied by modifications of the Ge and Ir electronic states. High- pressure x-ray diffraction shows anisotropic lattice compression in the tetragonal (I4mm) phase and provides evidence for a structural phase transition above 38 GPa. The experimentally deter- mined lattice and equation-of-state parameters are in good agreement with the DFT calculations. Electrical resistivity measurements reveal a monotonic increase in the antiferromagnetic ordering temperatures up to 18 GPa, indicating that the antiferromagnetic ground state remains robust despite the increasing contribution of the nonmagnetic Eu3+ configuration to the intermediate va- lence state. These results demonstrate that EuIrGe3 exhibits a pressure response distinct from EuCoGe3 and EuRhGe3, highlighting the important role of the transition metal d-electron states in the pressure-induced electronic and structural evolution of the EuT Ge3 family
